Description

The true story of love, marriage, adultery, murder, and revenge, Mafia-style, is told in this account of the mob's loss of control over the casino gambling industry of Las Vegas. Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, a gambling mastermind, and his partner Anthony Spilotro virtually ran Las Vegas for the mob, with Lefty providing the smarts and Tony keeping the bosses happy with their weekly skimmed cash. However, Lefty's obsession with running the town and Tony's obsession with his beautiful showgirl wife, Geri, eventually led to the betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the greatest debacles in mob history. This book is a brilliant and shattering inside account of the events that unfolded, revealing the complexities and consequences of the mob's involvement in the casino industry.
